Today's lone ranger without Doncic survived to the end with the Utah Jazz, losing by six points at 93-99.
Mitchell scored 2 points in the first half and 30 points in the second half.
Two years ago in the playoffs we were used to him and Murray 50+, but in fact, he was born in 1996 and is only 26 years old this year.
But he has already become famous.
The Timberwolves beat the league's second-place Bucks 130-117 on the road. The two teams played harder than in the regular season.
It's not that they don't defend, but they all played bloody courage in a fierce confrontation. thereinto
Edwards, 21, scored 36 points and six assists in his first playoff game.
Morant, 22, responded with a 32-point, 4-board, eight-assist.
The whole audience highlighted a "spark with lightning".
Philadelphia beat the Raptors in the third quarter 131-111 at home, Harden scored 22 points, 14 assists and the Emperor's 19 points and 15 boards. It was Maxi's 38 points, including a single quarter 19 in the third quarter.
This is his second season, and he was born in 2000 before he was 22 years old.
The Warriors won the Nuggets 123-107 at home, Curry played 18 minutes as a substitute, and the Nuggets side of Murray and Porter remained on the sidelines. The Warriors win for granted.
The biggest contributor is Jordan Poole, who scored 30 points, scored 7-of-5 three points, and played the playoffs for the first time in his career. Although he has been scolded by Warriors fans for so many years, he is actually only 22 years old.
It is also the first time in NBA history that four young players under the age of 22 have scored 30+ on the same day.
The storm of youth and the afterlife are fearsome.
The first game of the first round, which can be said to be the firing battle of the playoffs, is also a continuation of the regular season competition.
Both head coaches are still tentative, more conventional routines to deal with opponents, not so many clever tricks.
For example, the Lone Ranger vs. Jazz this time. The regular season two teams made it 2-2.
The Jazz averaged 33.0 points per game when the Jazz won and just 18.0 points in the two games they lost. So of course the Lone Ranger targeted Mitchell first.
In the first half, as long as he holds the ball, he is basically a defense, a stare, and there are people next to him to make up for it at any time.
Anyway, I know that he doesn't pass the ball to Gobert, what are you afraid of?
But the problem was to empty The weak side of Bojan, so he scored 20 points on 8-of-11 shooting in the first half, filling Mitchell's fire vacuum.
In the second half, the Lone Ranger moved back to regular defense, and Mitchell, who surfaced, immediately scored 19 points in a single quarter.
Although not a super genius like Doncic, Mitchell's hard power and playoff experience are incomparable to Dinwiddie and Bronson.
The Warriors vs. Nuggets, one win and three losses in the regular season, about the teacher 28.0 points, 15.8 rebounds and 8.8 assist shooting rate of 51.9%.
So this warrior's choice is to consume, I don't believe that you, the big white fat man, can be bullish for a whole game.
They still used Looney in the opening game, and even the biggest shortcoming in the Warriors offense covered four of the team's first six points.
When Mr. Yo is physically energetic, it is almost impossible to limit in today's NBA. Not only can he connect teams with clever passes, but he can also punish any opponent who tries to cut off his ties with his teammates with his current singles ability.
At one point, the Nuggets led 23-17, with about 6 points and 3 assists. When he was able to pass the ball to Gordon like this, the Warriors themselves gave up defending.
However, just like when the Lakers first used Howard to consume him in the 2020 playoffs, and then played with him with a thick eyebrow to play with the center, it is difficult for Teacher Yo's teammates to give him enough protection and support now.
With 4:23 left in the second quarter, the Nuggets led 41-40.
Poole replaced Looney and Green as center, while the others on the pitch were Curry, Clay and Wiggins.
That's probably the Warriors' strongest rotation in this year's playoffs.
Then by the end of the first half, the score became 47-58.
For four and a half minutes, the Warriors played a 18-4 run.
See how the warriors "flirted" with the teacher.
The Warriors switched offense and defense, and Clay dribbled a single time about the teacher's layup.
Then Green blocked clay outside the three-point line, and Joe teacher had no strength to expand to the outside line, and Clay hit a three-pointer.
Then a block to split the air cut, Curry made a layup, and the Nuggets had given up defense at this time.
"Torturing" a center with a small ball is almost one of the signatures of the Warriors at their peak. As the league's first center and a giant who is likely to defend his MVP title, Teacher Yo still has no way to take these routines of the Warriors.
Especially in the absence of Murray and Porter, he may be able to lead a group of youngsters to fight the Warriors on the offensive end.
But on the defensive end, Mr. Jo's physical strength and footsteps are destined to be the focus of this series warriors.
So Poole's 30 points are more like the water under the "suppression of the system" of the Warriors.
Mitchell's 32 points are the patient adjustment of mature stars who have experienced the storm after being targeted.
Morant and Edwards' 30+ confrontation is the passionate collision of two hot-blooded teams.
Maxi's 38 points were the two bosses who stepped forward after being targeted.
Although it may not be able to replace the original thighs of the team, it will become the key figure that determines the direction of the entire series.
But they are all young and have a bright future.
And tonight, another pair of young "duos" are going to meet the two big brothers who may have the strongest ability to single out their respective positions in active duty.
Tatum & Jaylen Brown, vs. Durant & Irving.
The most eye-catching contest in the first round of this set of playoffs, who will win the opening red?
